Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has been actively attending Iftar events over the past several days, demonstrating his commitment to engaging with the Muslim community.
The first Iftar was held at CM Nitish Kumar's residence on Sunday, although it faced a partial boycott from some Muslim organizations due to his alliance with the BJP.
In addition, the Chief Minister attended an Iftar hosted by his ally, Chirag Paswan of the Lok Janshakti Party, and also participated in the Iftar organized by Jitan Ram Manjhi, President of the Hindustani Awam Morcha, in Patna.

The series of Iftar parties has evolved into a crucial avenue for political engagement in Bihar.
As the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections draw near, these celebrations are perceived as strategic efforts by political figures to enhance community relations and garner voter allegiance, especially among the Muslim community.
